Method Summary
`Map`	`getFlavorsForNatives(String[] natives)` Returns a `Map` of the specified `String` natives to their corresponding `DataFlavor`.
`Map`	`getNativesForFlavors(DataFlavor[] flavors)` Returns a `Map` of the specified `DataFlavor`s to their corresponding `String` native.

Method Detail

getFlavorsForNatives

public Map getFlavorsForNatives(String[] natives)

Returns a Map of the specified String natives to their corresponding DataFlavor. The returned Map is a modifiable copy of this FlavorMap's internal data. Client code is free to modify the Map without affecting this object.

Parameters:: natives - an array of Strings which will be the key set of the returned Map. If null is specified, a mapping of all String natives currently known to this FlavorMap to their corresponding DataFlavors will be returned.
Returns:: a java.util.Map of String natives to DataFlavors

getNativesForFlavors

public Map getNativesForFlavors(DataFlavor[] flavors)

Returns a Map of the specified DataFlavors to their corresponding String native. The returned Map is a modifiable copy of this FlavorMap's internal data. Client code is free to modify the Map without affecting this object.

Parameters:: flavors - an array of DataFlavors which will be the key set of the returned Map. If null is specified, a mapping of all DataFlavors currently known to this FlavorMap to their corresponding String natives will be returned.
Returns:: a java.util.Map of DataFlavors to String natives
